$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
03.04

@junaruga it’s actually 03.04 on my fresh 13th gen i7-1370P.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing the information. The BIOS version 03.04 on Intel 13 gen is not documented in Framework’s BiOS page.

@junaruga another interesting thing: I got a modern GUI (not the grey/blue UI like in the screenshots in the first post) in the BIOS if I plug in an external screen.

@Jean-Marc_Le_Roux what do you mean with “if I plug an external screen?” I get a modern UI no matter what / nothing plugged in, in the integrated display:

All BIOS screens on the 13th gen appear like that. The 11th gen and 12th gen are the older type.

Note the same information is displayed.

Hell, I’d not complain if we could get that look backported to 11/12th gen BIOS screen. It looks rather nice. Is that a possibility?

I updated the Framework Laptop 13, 11 Gen Intel Core, the current latest version to 3.19 now.

Hi, there,
Is there a way to tell the keyboard LEDs to turn off after 15sec (or more) and turn back on when the mouse moves or a key is pressed (like on Macbook)?
Thanks, have a nice day,

There is! Now I need to go find the script that enables that feature…

Edit: Found it

Hi, there,
Thanks, but I’m on Windows.
Do you know of a solution on this OS?
Thank you,

@Gaillard_Jean-Michel I don’t know of one off the top of my head but examining how the script mentioned works would be a good place to start and see if any other programs expose similar functionality

I added Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series) to the first comment on this thread.

Hi, Framework Laptop (FL) 13 AMD Batch 1 folks who are already using Fedora 39 or Ubuntu on FL 13 AMD, can you share the results of the following dmidecode commands?

If you are using Fedora 39, you can install the dmidecode command by the following command.

$ sudo dnf install dmidecode

Then you can print the BIOS vendor and version by the following commands.

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-vendor
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version

Thanks for sharing the result from the sudo dmidecode! The BIOS is InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS, right? I think you can check it on the BIOS page before booting OS.

yw! Looks different from screenshots I’ve seen before, but identifies as H2O:

All right. Thanks!

I think the "3.03’ written in the following document is wrong. I have never seen the 3.03 yet. It should be “3.02” for now.

Download: No New BIOS at this time. The Factory-Installed BIOS (3.03) is the latest version
